Realms Of Play - Ana Stan

REALMS OF PLAY

PRESS & PLAY.

The REALMS OF PLAY is a unique, cutting-edge gaming experience. The Gaming Festival will gather Gamers and Game Developers from all over the world, to offer them the adventure of a new immersive Architectural Game. An immersive gaming experience will give the players the opportunity to create their own architectural experience while rediscovering themselves. They also have the option to be analysed by the Artificial Intelligence System and let it create a deeply engaging environment for the user to discover, based on his previous lived events and past behaviors and recollections.

In this case, the user’s familiar objects and settings are reinterpreted and recreated by the AI with a futuristic touch and a hint of mystery, offering the gamer the opportunity to discover a completely new environment for him in which he will at the same time feel like he is relieving parts of his dearest experiences but with a new futuristic look that gives him a glimpse into the future and creates unforgettable new encounters. Setting aside the ordinary perception of familiar things results in playing and seems like seeing the world with new eyes. The importance of the Playing Ritual will be brought to light through this Festival.

Perceiving anything as play has a great influence on how we experiment spatial possibilities in Architecture and how we perceive the Universe and its spatiality. This is why, the prototype spaces illustrated in this animation try to give a new virtual aspect to familiar objects from our real world. The architectural components are reinterpretations of mundane elements transposed into a utopic virtual world of fantasy.
